Chapter 276: Sacrificing Himself for the Country
The Yan family's ancestral house and the Niufu courtyard are now within the scope of the imperial city, and Yan Hui is reluctant to build a large number of buildings, so he just adds a circle of city walls and finishes it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info after Yan Hui returned home, in fact, Yan Hui still likes the atmosphere here, because it feels like home here. All the maids and servants in the palace are from the Niu clan of Cangshan Mansion, and there is no eunuch except for Peach Blossom.
Now Peach Blossom can be regarded as a ********, this period of time is mainly in Fengtian to supervise the construction of the imperial city, today, he returned to Longcheng because he wanted to ask Yan Hui for instructions on whether to rebuild the imperial capital. For Peach Blossom, a flower-like eunuch, Yan Hui still trusts her. Just looking at the fact that he took the initiative to join Leng Feng and took the initiative to ask for the assassination of Erdunke, it is enough to prove Peach Blossom's intentions.
Don't forget that Yan Hui's Divine Dragon Recipe has reached the eighth level, and what kind of person has what kind of mind can't be hidden from Yan Hui. With such a person as Peach Blossom guarding the harem, Yan Hui is still very relieved, so Peach Blossom has become Yan Hui's personal attendant.
"Your Majesty, the dress of the queen and the two concubines has been tried on, do you want to take a look?"
"No need, it's more important for me to see my son first. I said, why don't you go home and follow me? ”
Wang Meng pushed Zhou Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian winked at Ouyang Xiu, Ouyang Xiu looked back at Ximenqing, Ximenqing shook his fan and made a chic shape. Ouyang Xiu sighed, took out his small notebook and said, "Your Majesty, you have a new neighbor, and the ministers are worried that the queen's jealousy will not be good for Your Majesty, so the ministers are here to escort you." ”
The brother suppressed his laughter vigorously, and even Peach Blossom covered his mouth and trembled.
"Fifty rods."
"Yes, the minister will keep the account."
"If you want to see the queen, just say it, can't you be careful when I see it? Go with me. ”
The brothers followed Yan Hui into the ancestral house, and as soon as they entered the main hall, they saw flowers and laughter inside. Peach Blossom was about to report, but was stopped by Yan Hui. I saw Yuan Yuan, Wen Wen'er, and Xiaoyue talking and laughing uncontrollably around the two beauties of the flowers, and the Queen Mother Zhuo Yujiao was also smiling while holding her two eldest grandsons.
"The costumes of the Central Plains are really beautiful, this skirt is covered with a layer of light yarn that is indescribably chic, and all kinds of jewelry are also very beautiful. Empress Yuan, how much time do you have to spend dressing up every day? ”
Dressed as Anne of the Central Plains daughter's house, she asked Yuan Yuan while turning in circles. If she was seen by Fan Jin, she would definitely be severely reprimanded.
"Sister Anne, you can't turn like this, it's very ungraceful to turn like this, you have to go like me."
Yan Jiaorao, who was dressed up, walked a few steps in a dignified manner, and her swaying figure almost made her brothers applaud.
"Well, it's beautiful, I'll try it."
Anne walked a few steps, but she didn't expect to be unable to stand on the hem of her skirt with one foot, and crashed into Yanhui's arms. The two looked at each other, ambiguous between the eyes.
"Almost, so many people are watching. Your Majesty, my sons miss you, look at how pitiful the little hand is, does Your Majesty still have the heart to look at beautiful women? ”
The sour taste, of course, is the queen's mother. After all, Anne is a foreigner, and she still doesn't understand the meaning of Yuan Yuan's words. She straightened up and held out a hand to Yan Hui.
"His Majesty the Emperor is back, and I welcome you."
"Hehe, you don't have to be polite in your own home, I will introduce you to several of my ministers."
Yan Hui introduced Wang Meng and others to Anne one by one, and everyone did not mention them one by one. After Yan Hui greeted Zhuo Yujiao, he hurriedly picked up the two sons, and the two boys grew weight again, and they held them heavily in their hands.
"Yuan'er, the guests are saving some face."
"Oh, the concubine is nothing, but you see how distressing Xiaoyue's resentful eyes are, go and comfort them."
"Comfort, comfort."
"Ahh
The two sons cheered for the queen mother together, and Xiaoyue is now also thin-skinned and stuffed, and she has to look like five months. Yanhui very much hoped that Xiaoyue could give birth to a little girl for herself, but Xiaoyue didn't do it and insisted on having a son. Yan Hui told her several times that it was not up to her parents to have the final say in giving birth to a boy or a girl, but Xiaoyue just didn't listen, and asked Zhou Ruhai to give her a name, Yan Yaozu. It's clearly a boy's name, but what if it's a girl? A woman who wants to be a mother can't be provoked, so Yanhui has no choice but to let Xiaoyue.
"Alright, alright, let's eat." Yuan Yuan clapped her hands and greeted everyone.
Yan Hui's family banquet is not so particular, a round table, men, women and children sit around and eat. The two sons hung on Yan Hui on the left and right, but they couldn't come down, and Zhuo Yujiao clapped her hands and smiled, and Anne was very envious.
"Dear Yanhui, you have two sons and three wives. Can the men of the Dragon Empire marry many wives? ”
This problem is more cumbersome to explain, so Yan Hui gave this task to Yuan Yuan.
"Your Majesty, it is true that an imperial man can marry many wives, but there is only one wife. For example, my majesty's wife is only me. ”
"So what are the two of them? Lover? ”
"It's not a lover, it's also this and this of my majesty, and it's also a wife."
Yuan Yuan was embarrassed to say this to her face, her sister had a very good relationship, and it hurt to say it.
"That's not the same thing, the men of the Divine Dragon Empire are really blessed. We Manggul men can only marry one wife, but we can have lovers. But if you want to marry home, you can only be regarded as a servant. ”
"It's so unreasonable, it's not fair." This is what Satsuki said.
"Alright, let's eat." The Queen Mother blocked the topic.
"Dear Annie, I would like to know what you think of the relationship between Manggul and the Divine Dragon Empire."
"Dear Yanhui, I want to make a metaphor for the relationship between the two countries, and borrow it from your two sons."
Anne didn't wait for Yanhui to agree, and picked up Nianzu and step-ancestor. The little brothers smacked Anne's face left and right, making Anne giggle, and Brother Yan Hui was envious to death. Anne hugged the child and said, "In the future, the relationship between Manggul and the Divine Dragon Empire will be like the two of them. ”
Papapa, everyone applauded, this metaphor is very good, wow, this is also what Yan Hui thinks.
"In that case, we can start the next step of the talks, and I believe there will be a good outcome. Come, I wish us success. ”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and the atmosphere of a family banquet became more and more relaxed.
"Second brother, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, Cui'er and I want to kiss you."
"I don't know if it's a man or a woman, how to climb?"
"It's better for both of you to be daughters, so that my son won't have to worry about finding a daughter-in-law." Yuan Yuan was very positive about this proposal.
"Sister-in-law, can you marry my son if you have a daughter in the future?" Wang Meng asked.
"Then you have to have a son first."
"Yes, I'll order one first."
"And me."
Yan Hui couldn't cry or laugh, her daughter was divided by her brothers before she could see it, you must know that there are still many people waiting to divide the children of the Yan family, and it is really not enough to give birth to a few more.
"Dear Yanhui, we Manggul also want to become a country of in-laws with your country."
Anne also came to mix, Yuan Yuanxin said Aren't you making trouble? You haven't married yet, where did you get your children to get married? Yanhui looked at Anne and said, why don't we get married. How do you know what Anne said next, but it shocked everyone present.
"Dear Yanhui, according to the tradition of Manggul, the queen can choose her own husband. In history, His Excellency Yan Wushuang was the husband of Queen Manggul. In accordance with this tradition, I have decided to choose one of the greatest kings of your royal family as my husband. In this way, your two countries will become countries of in-laws, and the relationship between the two countries will be closer. What do you think? ”
Yan Hui looked at Annie, cold sweat running down her head. The meaning of these words is already very clear, the royal family of the Shenlong Empire is the Yan family, and the Yan family is the only one in the Yan family so far who meets Annie's conditions, and Annie's meaning is very clear. In fact, Yan Hui likes Anne a little bit in her heart, foreign beauties, or queens, who doesn't like it. But thinking about it, it would be too terrible to say it, didn't you see Yuan Yuan's sister's eyes wide. Yan Hui calmed down and said solemnly: "This matter is big, it involves diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it needs to be discussed with the ministers, so you might as well talk about it another day." ”
"Well, I will formally submit a note on the marriage between the two countries, which I think will be very beneficial to both of you and me. Thank you Your Majesty and the Empress for your hospitality, and I will go back. ”
"Greetings to Her Majesty."
It is too awkward for a marriage between a man and a woman to rise to the national level. After sending Anne away, Yanhui asked everyone, "What do you think?" ”
Ximenqing: "The minister thinks it is feasible." ”
Wang Meng: "Agreed. ”
Zhou Xiaoxian: "Yes." ”
Ouyang Xiu: "It couldn't be better. The queen is not in a hurry, even if Queen Anne marries Her Majesty, she will not leave Manggul, which has a precedent in the history of Manggul. Therefore, the queen can rest assured. Besides, Her Majesty didn't say to marry Her Majesty, but only said to marry the greatest king of the Imperial Family, so ......"
Yuan Yuan: "Who are you fooling?" Who is Anne talking about, you don't know? So it can only be my majesty. According to what you mean, it's just a nominal husband and wife, and it's for Manggul to pass on the lineage, right? ”
Ouyang Xiu: "That's basically what it means. ”
Yuan Yuan: "Your Majesty, the concubine really feels sorry for you, and you have to sacrifice yourself for the country." Alas, how should the concubines help you? ”
Hyo-hyun and the others retreated and ran out. Yan Hui was very angry, didn't he say that he wanted to escort him, why did he run away?
"Yuan'er, I really didn't mean that, and besides, this was also unilaterally proposed by Anne, didn't I agree."
"Those ministers will definitely agree, and they will naturally agree without them sacrificing their lives. Have pity on me, the best queen......"
Yan Hui raised his hand to surrender, and the two of them couldn't persuade others to quarrel, because they were all amused by their words. Only Peach Blossom was still loyally standing behind Yan Hui, trembling all over, almost suffocated.
Yuan Yuan: "Peach blossom, you said, if the king has something, the minister should die, right?" ”
Peach Blossom: "Hui Niangniang, yes." ”
"Then why don't they serve their country?"
"Ahem, this, mother. What people want is Your Majesty, and others don't look down on it. ”
"That's right, my majesty's talent and character are unmatched, and Anne is still very discerning. In this way, I will ask my father and Zhou Lao to see what they have to say. ”
The next day, Empress Yuan really asked Yuan Chong and Zhou Ruhai, and the results were self-evident. It is inevitable for Yanhui to sacrifice himself for the country, and the marriage of the two great powers is a strong alliance, which is extremely beneficial to both parties. Zhou Ruhai and Yuan Chong expressed their support, and even Fan Jin did not have any opinions.
Yuan Chong also said to Yuan Yuan: "Your Majesty is not your Majesty alone, as long as it is conducive to the strength of the empire, Your Majesty should have no hesitation." Besides, the queen doesn't fight with you, I'm afraid that she will do anything, so teaching my little grandson well and helping Your Majesty rule the harem is what you should do. ”
Well, my father said so, and Yuan Yuan didn't have a problem. When he returned home, he said to Wen Rou'er and Xiao Yue, "We will have a new sister, and we will still be a queen." But she can't affect our status, that's a state affair that has nothing to do with feelings. What are you two expressions on, don't you believe me? ”
Gentle and Yuan Yuan shook their heads again and again, but they were saying in their hearts: It's strange to believe in you. (To be continued.) )
